This summer Spotify playlist is one of my exclusive playlists, in which I’ve listed several special songs for you.
WHEN I think of the holidays, two things always come to mind: drinking ice cold rosé with friends at an outdoor café —and, of course, summer music. If there is one thing very typical to Dutch people during the summer, it’s the outdoor café madness — as soon as the very first ray of sunshine presents itself, the cafes quickly transform into a crowded mass of loud and excited people.
Even if it’s only 20 degrees, and the wind will knock you off your feet, the outdoor cafes still work as an invisible magnet attracting people from every corner of the city. In the blink of an eye, you’ll start to notice fathers drinking a beer while wearing three-quarter length pants, and young students with brightly colored skirts, while wearing flip-flops in all kinds of sizes.
Among the many offerings of our culture, spending time in outdoor cafés during sunny days is definitely one of the most enjoyable aspects our culture has to offer. I just love Amsterdam for that.
Around this time of year, I typically switch up my soundtrack to something more festive, cheerful, and fitting for the season.
This summer Spotify playlist is a collection of tracks that help me get into the holiday spirit. It’s a mix of old favorites (and some more modern tunes) from around the world. Whether you listen in a cosy sweater, while wrapping presents, or on the beach with friends, I hope these songs bring as much joy to your holidays as they do to mine. Dive in and enjoy the tunes!
Summer Spotify playlist
1. “Jungle” by Tash Sultana
I love the unique, soulful vibe of this song, and the raw sound of acoustic-electric guitars resonates deeply with me. Sultana began her music career in Melbourne, Australia, performing on city streets. This street influence is present in her music, as to why the song feels intimate and conversational. I truly love how the song includes different sounds of unlikely instrumental combinations and doesn’t necessarily fit into a specific genre. She even seems to create her very own genre through her songs to fit her musical wishes, which I admire. Because I’ve listened to this track countless times, I think it is an unforgettable part of my summer Spotify playlist.
2. “Watermelon Sugar” by Harry Styles
A sweet, summery track that instantly transports you to sunny days and beach vibes. It gives me this feel-good anthem.
